TOPEKA -- In a decision published today, the Kansas Supreme Court affirmed a ruling by the Saline County District Court in the case of Nicholas Corbin.
According to a summary of the decision:
"In 2014, Corbin pleaded no contest to murder of his two-month old son. The district court rejected his argument he was intellectually disabled. In a 2016 appeal, the Supreme Court remanded the case to district court to reconsider its ruling because the applicable law had changed. On remand, the district court complied with the Supreme Court's direction and again denied the intellectual disability claim. In a unanimous opinion written by Justice Dan Biles, the Supreme Court affirmed the district court's ruling and held its decision was reasonable and supported by the evidence."
